ive had glasses for a few years now and i got my eyes checked a few days ago and got my new glasses today. But i noticed my right lens is clearly thicker than my left, (Question1)is this normal?
(Question2) could it be my fault for answering a question like which lens is better, and giving an answer which seemed right at that moment, but i was unsure?

You could have the optometrist do a quick check of the glasses to make sure that they match what he prescribed. If you look at the printe dprescription he gave you you will see different numbers for the left and right eyes so tht is no problem.
When he did the exam he checked and rechecked all the combinations so no matter how poor your answers were he would still know what your required correction shuld be.

There is no reason why you should have the same vision in both eyes. What it does mean is that you should not buy over the counter reading glasses at a pharmacy, because one of the lenses would have to be wrong for you.
Question 2 has nothing to do with it. But if you're not sure, you should say so. The optometrist knows perfectly well what that means, which is you usually that the correction he is trying makes no difference.

Rarely do people have both eyes with the same prescription, unless they have perfect vision. This is perfectly normal. If there was anything wrong with your glasses you would either not be able to see or you'd get blinding headaches. The lenses are nearly always different thickness.

The thickness is a ratio of their prescription. Each lens is designed to correct the vision in each individual eye, and each of your eyes may have very different requirements.

often i want to propose thinner aspects while the prescription is over a -3.00, however the time-honored plastic lenses are no longer unacceptably thick at this ability notably in a quite small physique like yours. be at liberty to reserve with out nerve-racking. in case you like the thinnest lenses available, you would be greater effective off with a polycarbonate lens. Polycarbonate is extremely sturdy at this prescription variety. that's lighter weight than extreme index, and it is "cut back" quite skinny because of the fact of it is techniques-blowing effect resistance. extreme index is often reserved for top prescriptions (over -6.00) because of the fact it has greater effective "optics". it is further weight and scarcity of effect resistance make the further value merely wasted funds.

You'll have worse eyesight in one eye than the other, the thicker lens will be the worst eye, its quite common!

It`s quite normal, it merely means that one eye is stronger than the other.

yes it probably means that the sight is worse in one eye than the other.
